SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 15 –
A man was pleading guilty to
felony gun possession and use
on November 15 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Andrew L. Carter.
But
the defendant, Bob King, could
not answer the questions,
about whether he had discussed
his possible sentence with his
lawyer coming to plead guilty,
if he understood about the
probation report,
nothing.
First Judge
Carter took a break. But when
he came back in, things were
not better. He gave King and
his lawyer until 3 pm to
confer in the interview cells
in 40 Foley Square.
At 3 pm
Inner City Press after
publishing the above and
broadcasting a Periscope from
outside the courthouse went
back to Judge Carter's (and
Judge Engelmeyer's) 13th
floor. There, King was was by
the elevators in shackled,
just leaving. Judge Carter's
door was locked. Apparently
the guilty plea was again,
appropriately, not taken.
But
shouldn't this plea be called
off? Inner City Press will
continue on this case. It is US
v. King, 18-cr-308
(Carter).
